From the drive to the control level. Electric, pneumatic, digital: we are pioneers and technology experts for all automation needs. More than 10,000 engineers design and develop innovative solutions for automation every day. Every year, this results in over 100 patent-ready product innovations and more than 2,600 patents. Experience our technological expertise. At the Festo Experience Center.
Where conventional ways find their limits, we go further.
Less scrap. Less energy consumption. Shorter downtimes and makeready times. More flexibility. More output. Higher quality and improved working conditions. The requirements and specifications for excellent automation are multi-layered and complex. Automation excellence requires expertise, innovation and continuity in finding solutions. We know the strengths of pneumatic, electrical and digital technology and orchestrate them into new powerful and reliable solutions. Our expertise kicks in where conventional ways find their limits and no longer lead to the desired results. And we are passionate about ensuring that our customers can fully exploit the potential of networking in the future.
Connectivity in the automation pyramid
From the connection of sensors at the field level to the adaptation of servo controllers to different controllers or the onward transport of data to the cloud: today, connectivity is a decisive criterion in the design of your modern systems. Discover and inform yourself at the Festo Experience Center: See how you can implement the topic in your plant with Festo experts.
Practical examples for your applications:
Knowledge Wall Connectivity
Knowledge Wall Connectivity is an innovative system that allows us to map the connectivity of your entire plant. This gives you the opportunity to test different installation concepts or to try out the integration of components into your systems.
Festo AX with AI implementation - from the field level to the cloud
You will experience a concrete use case of how to bring data from the fieldbus level via various connectivity layers to the cloud for use.
Gripper test station
As a design engineer, you are often faced with the challenge of having to handle a wide variety of products in your systems. The gripping-relevant properties of the products vary considerably from application to application.
The Festo gripper test station offers you the optimum environment for the right gripper solution: whether a classic vacuum solution, a mechanical gripper or special solutions such as grippers with the Bernoulli principle, the test station can be quickly and easily adapted to the different gripping scenarios of your application.
A useful tip
In addition to the gripper selection, the behavior under dynamics can also be examined. Furthermore, measurement data can be generated and analyzed in order to be as energy-efficient as possible, for example with vacuum grippers.
Electric Motion
Complex path contours, synchronous movements, electronic cams, these or similar tasks often have to be implemented in your applications. These motion applications require extensive knowledge of mechanics and control technology. The software implementation requires deep knowledge in PLC programming. Together with our experts we will find the right solutions for you.
Optimize your efficiency by using the ready-made Softmotion basic package:
With little effort, you can quickly and easily implement the motion application in your system. In the Festo Experience Center, you have the opportunity to try out the application in practice and test your application in advance.
Questions on site
In addition to the functional reliability of your solution, you also have the opportunity to clarify many questions in advance. This saves you valuable time during the commissioning phase.
